This is such cool news: Sarah Jessica Parker, who hasn't done a play since 2001, is returning to the stage to star in the off-Broadway production of The Commons of Pensacola, a play by none other than Amanda Peet. It's the actress's playwriting debut.

If Carrie Bradshaw worked in corporate (and faux Vogue doesn't count), she'd be wearing a whimsical—but professional—cardi like this checked style her alter ego Sarah Jessica Parker is wearing. The workplace-layering staple serves two important purposes: First, the air-conditioning is permanently on high, and second, how else will you dress up a neutral shift dress/pencil skirt/black trousers? (Or depending on your office, maybe you can mix prints like Carrie, er, Sarah Jessica, totally would.)

It gets better: Blythe Danner will play SJP's mom and the wife of a disgraced financier who escapes to a Florida condo. (Shades of Madoff, methinks.) No word yet on who will play Parker's boyfriend in the play. I suppose asking for a Carrie/Big reunion would be too much?

This is only the second-biggest theater news of the day, mind you: Everyone's freaking out over Rocky coming to Broadway in 2014. I'm not sure how I feel about that translating to the stage yet. It would be cool if Sylvester Stallone had a cameo. I'm pretty sure that even if they don't write him one, he'll just leave his seat in the audience and walk across the stage anyway. I'm OK with that.
